Noises problem
1998 Toyota Sienna 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 115k miles

When I turn my engine on, I get the annoting belt squeak. It stops, but starts again when I turn on the air conditioner, heater, or defrost. I tried some stop squeak on the one large belt that I could see, and it stopped squeaking for a day. It could hae just been a lucky day, or it could really be that belt. Is there another belt omewhere that I need to check or replace. I was told by the local mechanic that it was not serious, but he still never told me what belt it was. Which belt is it and how do I stop it from squealing at me.
